Debo P. Adegbile, WilmerHale partner and chair of the firm’s Anti-Discrimination Practice, was named to the advisory board of the Policing Project at the New York University School of Law. 

The mission of the Policing Project, established in 2018, is to improve not just accountability after questionable or illegal policing but what it calls “front-end accountability.” That means increasing the public’s role, the project says, in setting “transparent, ethical, and effective policing policies and practices” that make it more likely police officers perform their duties in ways that earn the public’s trust.

Mr. Adegbile has significant experience representing municipalities and law enforcement entities in connection with US Department of Justice policing “pattern or practice” investigations and police reform efforts.

Other members of the advisory board include Loretta Lynch, the former US attorney general; Art Acevedo, chief of the Miami Police Department; and Danielle Outlaw, commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department.

Mr. Adegbile is also a US Civil Rights Commission member and a member of the NYU School of Law board of trustees.
